Dear LSTOWN Folks,

>scripts to send e-mail at odd hours (read: before I want to get
>up to =>click OK).

This is simpler than scripting, so I don't know if it meets your
specific needs.

However, if you use certain e-mail clients (e.g., Eudora, which
does have a Windows version) you can schedule an outgoing
message to be sent at any future time. I don't know if this
feature is available in the free version of Eurdora.

I just queue the OK messages up with future send dates and
times.

Several times I have used this feature to send an OK after I
was asleep or before I woke up. If a DIGEST is always released
at midnight, for instance, one can attempt to place a message
either at the end of a Digest or at the beginning of the next DIGEST
with this delayed approval send method. [Of course, there are
methods to force out a DIGEST, if that is necessary, at any time.]

I hope this helps.

 Pax,
